The only thing that they have in common is that they are proteins. Insulin is a molecule that carries glucose across the body cell membranes. Hemoglobin is a very large molecule that contains iron and carries oxygen. The red blood cells are packed with it.

How many amino acid differences would you expect to find between the hemoglobin of a human and a wolf?
There are no differences in the amino acids in human hemoglobin and wolf hemoglobin.
What is the difference between insulin and glycogen?
Insulin reduces the amount of sugar in your bloodstream to an acceptable level, and glucagon raises the amount of sugar in your bloodstream to an acceptable level. Glycogen is a stored type of the sugar, Glucose, that can readily be added to the bloodstream by glucagon.
What results in the difference of haemoglobin levels from one person to the other?
Hemoglobin variants are a result of differences in genetics
What type of bond is present between oxygen and hemoglobin?
coordinated bond (covalent)
What is more dangerous CO or CO2?
Carbon monoxide binds very strongly to the iron atoms in hemoglobin, the principal oxygen-carrying compound in blood. The affinity between CO and hemoglobin is 200 times stronger than the affinity between hemoglobin and oxygen. When CO binds to the hemoglobin it cannot be released nearly as readily as oxygen would be. The preferential binding of carbon monoxide to heme iron is the main reason for carbon
Why is protein hemoglobin different from protein insulin?
They are two different proteins, like the difference between a train and a robot. The difference between one protein and the other is the amino acid sequence that comprises that protein and the molecular bonding that determines its shape. Shape determines function in a protein. If it loses its shape it can't do its job. The shape of insulin and hemoglobin is different so insulin binds with glucose and hemoglobin binds with oxygen.
What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
sickle trait hemoglobin
Difference between insulin novarapid and insulin human actrapid?
actrapid is a soluble insulin and novorapid is insulinaspart
What is the difference between deoxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin?
Reduced hemoglobin does not have the oxygen molecules that oxyhemoglobin has. :)
Can people with diabetes make hemoglobin to control their blood sugar?
false the answer is insulin
How many amino acid differences would you expect to find between the hemoglobin of a human and a wolf?
There are no differences in the amino acids in human hemoglobin and wolf hemoglobin.
What is the difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin?
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
What kind of macromolecules are insulin and hemoglobin?
They are type of proteins. They are made up of amino acids
What is the difference between the range of hemoglobin levels in male and female human beings?
no there is no gender difference however your haemolglobin levels vary.
What is the difference between humulin insulin and reliOn insulin?
Relion Humulin is the exact same thing as Humlin, but Relion Humlin is manufactured exclusively for WalMart.
What is the difference between Insulin and Diabetics?
"Diabetes" is what one has. Diabetic is how one is.
What is the difference between NovoLog insulin and Novolin insulin for type 1 diabetes?
Novolin is a short-acting insulin, taken for correcting high blood glucose and before or after eating. Novolog is a long-lasting insulin, taken to stabilize blood glucose between the times that you take your short-acting doses.
